Reflections & Resolutions.. 2011

It dawned on me that I probably attended more funerals than weddings last year.. which ended with two in the final week of December. No wonder they call it midlife crisis! After the age of the 'Hawaii 4.0'.. 4.1 is not necessarily an upgrade and very possible a downgrade instead. We try to avoid the big Cs instead of pursuing them.. namely Cancer.. Coronary blockage.. Cardiac arrest.. Colon disease.. and not forgetting.. Alzheimer's.. Botox.. Diabetes.. The highlight of 2010 was certainly that fateful sms from Alison saying that she has returned to the faith after a 20-year hiatus.. and just recently even rebuked me for being.. er.. 'addicted' to facebook.. ha ha! Talk about role-reversal here!

So maybe I should have another go at resolution-making and hopefully, bear them in mind the the rest of the year:

• Exercise regularly.. lose weight.. at least 10kg.. (the same goals from 2007!)
• Spend meaningful time with the important people in my life
• Meet up with old friends and make new ones
  
• Seize every opportunity that arises
  
• Depend more on God in my field of work.. bring joy and healing through these hands
• Learn a language (Chinese or Korean?).. help Justin improve on his English.. and teach the boys basic Bahasa Malaysia (besides bosan.. penat.. and potong kuku)
  
• And of course (borrowing Ms. Congeniality's words).. World Peace!
